Transcribe letters of early America to help trace the social networks of the day. Help us understand religious networks and migration by transcribing 17th century Quaker family letters.

The letters in our project are divided by theme based on the type of network implied in the text of the letters. We hope that these themes can help you choose an area of interest. For example, Material Goods include commercial networks and discussions of the movement of books and materials. Social networks discuss family, friendship, health, and communication. And Women's Lives include estate management and family life. The available themes will vary over the course of the transcription project.
